It won’t end soon. Per the Census Dept, as of 2016 total full-time public sector employees numbered 23.5 million. God knows how many public sector retirees there are. I haven’t been able to find that number. But the vast majority of those folks will never vote to ease the burden on taxpayers. I know a number of public sector employees. They know what’s happening to taxpayers. To a person, they don’t give a damn. When those pension funds go belly up, and they will, I won’t be crying a river for the public sector employees who think the taxpaying public is there to serve them.
Their only concern is to keep those bloated incomes, retirement pensions and benefits coming.
Try going to work, tell them you're retiring, they pay you a $1,227,000 retirement check, then they turn around and rehire you back within days, same pay or more, and ya get a PROMOTION!
wow...
